1. APLMF Training Courses on Non-Automatic Weighing Instruments (NAWI) 01-05 September, 2014 in Bandung Indonesia MONGOLIAN AGENCY FOR STANDARDIZATION AND METROLOGY Davaa Dambasuren CALIBRATION OFFICER OF VOLUME MEASURING LABORATORY E-mail: info@masm.gov.mn, Tel: +976-51-263792, Fax +976-11-458032@masm.gov.mn

2. Self introduction My name is DAMBASUREN My qualification is a physicist I have been working in Volume and Flow Measuring instruments Verification Laboratory and Calibration laboratory by verification officer, calibration officer for nine years. Also I have been verifying Non-Automatic Weighing Instruments and Type Evaluation Procedure

3. MAP OF MONGOLIA Capital: Ulaanbaatar Location: Northern Asia, between China and Russia

4. Quick facts about Mongolia - Population: 2,8 mil.(with low density of 1,5 persons per sq.km) - More than 10 ethnic groups, (75%- Khalkha, 7%-Kazakhs and others) - Language: Mongolian - Religion: More than 90%-Tibetan Buddhist Lamaism, 6%-Muslim - Climate: Extreme continental, 4 distinct seasons (-45C in January; +25C in July)

5. Legal environment Mongolian Agency for Standardization and Metrology (MASM) is governmental regulatory body which responsibility is determined by the Law on “GUARANTEE THE UNIFORMITY OF MEASUREMENT” adopted in 1994 and revised in 2003. Based on this law legal metrology activity in Mongolia is conducted in the following manner: type testing of measuring instruments and its registering; verification of measuring instruments; appointing the licensed repairers, manufacturers, importers and installers. MONGOLIAN AGENCY FOR STANDARDIZATION AND METROLOGY

6. The main functions are:  Standardization  Conformity assessment  Establishment of national measurement standards  Legal metrology  Accreditation  Training and consulting  International cooperation

7. ORGANIZATION CHART CHAIRMAN VICE CHAIRMAN NATIONAL COUNCIL Strategic Management & Public Administratio n Division Accreditation Division Metrology Division Standardization & Technical regulation Division Administration International Cooperation Finance & Planning Coordination of Local centers Secretariat of Standardization Technical Committees Standards Information Center WTOTBT Enquiry Point Legal metrology and Standard sector Verification of measuring instruments

8. MAIN FUNCTIONS OF METROLOGY DIVISION Development of national measurement standard system Development and registration of certified reference materials Maintenance and improvement of accuracy of measurement standards Traceability of measurement standards Pattern approval of measuring instruments Calibration of measurement standards or measuring instruments Licensing for manufacture, repair, installation and sale of measuring instruments Training Others

9. Type testing and approval procedure adopted by MASM is based on the recommendations of OIML. During pattern approval, type of measuring instrument is tested fully or partially and if its test result is issued under OIML certificate system the pattern is recognised without duplicate testing. Once the pattern of an instrument has been approved a certificate of approval is issued. Type approval

10. MECHANICAL STANDARD LABORATORY : VOLUME Range: from (up 1 to 50) l Accuracy: 0.03 % Volume standard was approved as a National Standard by the Mongolian Government in 1999. Verification in 2014: - Over 1200 volume measuring instruments

11. Problems In current situation we use the method specified by the manufacturer of the equipment due there is no any international and national standards for performing verification on Non-Automatic Weighing Instruments at the place of service. Lack of working standards in legal metrology. Lack of training and retraining of verification officers.

12. Summary The participation in the training course will benefit to understand current legislation and procedures on type approval and verification of Non-Automatic Weighing Instruments.
